Weather and Running Conditions

Halifax’s relatively mild climate allows for outdoor running year-round, though seasonal adjustments are essential. In winter, runners should prepare for cold, damp conditions by layering up to stay warm. Spring and fall offer comfortable temperatures, though frequent rain makes waterproof gear and non-slip shoes helpful. Summer brings warmer days and higher humidity, making early morning or evening runs the best choice.
